Your branches green delight us.
O Christmas TREE, O Christmas TREE,
Your branches green delight us.
They're green when summer days are bright;
They're green when winter snow is white.

The custom of erecting a Christmas TREE can be traced to 16th century Germany.

It is normally a coniferous TREE that is brought into the home and decorated with lights and ornaments.
An angel or star is often placed at the top of the TREE, representing the host of angels or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity story.
